I spent most of my time in 3rd and 4th gear….trying to not abuse the new engine. I kept the revs moving the whole time. So much fun. This motor has plenty of power for me and the exhaust note was intoxicating. I have the dual-mode exhaust. Putting it in Sport mode was a hoot. My buddy following me had his windows down and said it sounded excellent. The manual trans felt very good with solid shifts when going. A little stiff putting it in 1st but that will hopefully smooth out over time. Getting into reverse will take some getting used to as well. The visibility was fine after 20 minutes of driving. The interior is a nice place to be and I love the cooled seats! I also got a few thumbs up I believe due to the color, Vivid Orange Metallic. It really pops. Anyway, I think I’m going to love this car as my daily to work for sure. BTW, the mileage indicator showed 27.9 MPG when I got home. I’ll take that! Happy owner!

Congratulations! Very refreshing to hear positive and up-beat discoveries about the Camaro, contrary to what a few would have you believe is virtually impossible, like never having owned or driven a newer Camaro, finding the visibility to not be an issue. (You didn't bail out of the cabin in the showroom afraid of your own shadow like you were supposed to) lol...Very refreshing to hear.
It's a beautiful car. Good luck!
